Jan. 6 panel’s ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson provided ‘secondhand hearsay’ on Capitol riot: Jack Smith

WASHINGTON — The House Select January 6th Committee’s “star” Cassidy Hutchinson provided “second hearsay” about the 2021 Capitol riot and wasn’t considered as a witness in the election interference case brought against President Trump, according to former special counsel Jack Smith.

Smith told the House Judiciary Committee in a closed-door deposition on Dec. 17 that Hutchinson — who testified at the Jan. 6 select panel’s made-for-TV hearings in June 2022 — “certainly” wouldn’t have made a “powerful” witness because she couldn’t provide “firsthand” testimony.

“My recollection with Ms. Hutchinson, at least one of the issues was a number of the things that she gave evidence on were secondhand hearsay, were things that she had heard from other people,” the ex-Trump prosecutor testified to the Judiciary lawmakers and staff, the deposition’s transcript shows.
 
“As a result, that testimony may or may not be admissible, and it certainly wouldn’t be as powerful as firsthand testimony,” Smith said.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

PoliticsJack Smith Admits The Truth About ‘Star’ Jan 6 Committee Witness

Trending Politics News

January 1, 2026

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith — the Biden-led Justice Department’s handpicked prosecutor who handled cases against President Donald Trump — admitted during a deposition earlier this week that a key January 6 Committee witness lacked the knowledge to make her highly publicized claims true.

In one of the most high-profile moments from the Hollywood-produced January 6 hearings, former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson made a number of bizarre claims against her former boss. According to her testimony, President Trump attempted to “grab the wheel” of a Secret Service vehicle and head to the Capitol when unrest erupted following the day’s protests.

This claim has been thoroughly debunked by Secret Service agents but is often repeated in left-wing political and media circles.

Earlier this week, Smith sat for a closed-door deposition before the House Judiciary Committee. The eight-hour session was part of the committee’s oversight into his prosecutorial decisions and the handling of these cases.

A transcript of the deposition was made public on December 31, 2025, offering insights into how Smith evaluated evidence and witnesses during his probe.

A key focus of the questioning involved Hutchinson’s 2022 testimony, which included accounts of interactions within the Trump administration on that day. Smith explained that his team assessed her statements as part of building the election interference case but ultimately determined they had limitations due to their reliance on indirect information.

Smith characterized much of Hutchinson’s testimony as secondhand or thirdhand hearsay, meaning it was based on what others had told her rather than her direct observations. He stated that this made her accounts less reliable for courtroom use.

Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
